- Holding companies

Questions worth getting ahead of
- Coordinating personal and corporate returns across the family

- Planning dividends, salaries and shareholder loans together
Plan the family’s returns as one file
Income from several sources, such as dividends, investments, rental properties and a holding company, is best planned together rather than return by return. Explain who owns what, how funds move between the companies and the family, and what you expect to change. The corporate and personal work is then coordinated by the partner who knows the whole picture.
Keep the holding company’s records current
A holding company still needs bookkeeping, financial statements and a T2 each year, and passive income inside a corporation has its own tax rules. Keep investment statements, intercompany balances and shareholder-loan records organized so year-end planning is done on the facts, not reconstructed after the deadline.
